I think you got the wrong comic there, Exodis. As for the "choices", I'm not sure at this point, but if I had to guess I'd said I could be a choice between stopping Sam from reactivating the bomb, or stopping Bell from attacking Buttercup with Jack's sword. But that's only a guess.

well this HAS all happened before and somehow Blossom knows this. Right now is the prime moment where something different has to occur and considering that Gir can be used to activate the bomb at the price of his motherboard (among other things), I believe that Blossom is in a position to make a truce with Bell to save Gir from being used as a detonator. Of course afterwards there's no telling what could happen...

I have to wonder if this is a reference to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2. Kain gave a long speech about how the world could only go down two paths via his choice (at the end of the very first game), but then famously presented Raziel with a question: "Suppose you throw a coin enough times, suppose one day it lands on it's edge."

Later at the end of the game Raziel achieves this third outcome, resulting in Kain attaining memories of a new history on top of what he already knew, as well as a quite visible and dramatic shift in reality as a new timeline was created. I have to wonder if this is a similar situation. Blossom's death or survival seems to be a fulcrum on which two divergent timelines rest, as is suggested by the need for her to live. And by "forcing" her to live, Grim may have incidentally created that "edge of the coin" scenario where now a third timeline is emerging.

Blossom is doing some really quick mental calculations to determine what to do. Buttercup doesn't understand the impact of if Blossom makes the wrong choice. Some people said they wanted Bunny to come back. I remember reading fanfiction where people came up with their own ideas of how she was brought back to life. Some of the fanfiction was good and some of it was okay. She would add interest to the story if she makes an appearance. I think a fight is going to happen between Bell and Samantha in the next update.
